political editor to New York to write
up the situation. -Four days before
the election he wrote, and here are q
few Of the things he thought he had
found out: George expects to pol
ninety thousand votes in New York
City. The Republicans may vote fol
George to defeat the Democrats. The
question is will George sell out to the
Republicans, or vics oersaf Nicoll
will be elected, that is now GER
tainty."
The same paper gives the following
forecasts in the same issue.
The wide differences of opinion in
regard to what will be the result OF
the elections in the various States
next Tuesday, is illustrated by an in
cident which occurred yesterday. A
party of five gentlemen were talking
on the subject when a Gazette reporter
entered the room in which they were
sitting. Two of the party were strict
Republicans; two were straight Demo-
Gratis, and the remaining gentleman
was a Mugwump. 1t was finally
agreed that each should mark the ma
iorities, according to his judgment, in
five States: New York, Maryland,
Ohio, Virginia and Massachusetts.
The result was as follows:
The first Republican estimate gives
New York $4,000 Republican Mary
land 1000 Democratic; Ohio $4,000
Republican; Virginia, 1000 Republi-
can, and Massachusetts 1000 Repub-
lican.
The next, also a Republican, gave
New York 1000 Republican; Mary
land, 1000 Democratic; Ohio, 10000
Republican; Virginia, 5000 Repub-
lican, and Massachusetts 5000 Repub-
lican.
The first Democrat thought that
New York would go 10000 Demo
cratic; Maryland, 5000 Democratic
Ohio, $4,000 Republican; Virginia,
5000 Republican, and Massachusetts
5000 Democratic.
The second Democrat figured New
York 10000 Democratic; Maryland,
5000 Democratic; Ohio, IL, 500 Repub-
lican; Virginia, 5000 Democratic, and
Massachusetts 5000 Democratic.
The Mugwump's estimate was: New
York, 10000 Republican; Maryland,
10 900 Democratic; Ohio, $1,000 Re-
publican; Virginia, 10, 900 Democratic,
and Massachusetts,, 10, 900 Republican.
In order to find out which made the
best guess, keep this and make COM
parison with the actual result next
Wednesday morning.
That is about as near as the average
of good politicians came to the fact as
it stands revealed by the results at
the polls. They were all long way
from the truth on almost every State.
The "Mugwump," by the way, was
the worst out of the five.

A Mark of Ill.Breedimg,

No gentleman who escorts lady to
the theatre will leave her between
acts, and discommode whole row OF
auditors in order to crowd past them
into the aisles. Yet we see, night
after night, this shameful exhibition
OF vulgarity in all our places Of amuse-
ment. This thing is bad enough in
those who are without ladies'; but
the man who respects the lady he
takes to the theater will keep hel
company to the end Not only
is this rushing out between acts
mark of ill-breeding and vul.
garity, it is a nuisance te
that portion of the audience who
go to the theatre to enjoy the play.
As a rule, these disturbers, having
disconnected everybody between
them and the aisles to get out, return
after the curtain has gone up on the
succeeding act Until they are all
seated, the argument of the play is
lost amid the noise and confusion
they create. 1t is not to be expected
that a certain class of playgoers can do
without their drinks for a whole even
ing. These will insist on their SOW
ereign right to wet-up between every
act. But no gentlemen will escort a
lady to the theatre unless he can put a
whole evening between drinks.

The HERALD has hitherto suggested
that the question Of the legality Of
issuing bonds by this city for internal
improvements under the present ex-
listing circumstances, should be carried
before the proper courts for adjudica-
ton. This action is not to be taken
because there is any legal doubt about
the matter, but to do away with any
popular misgiving thereupon. The
best legal talent in the city has given
the opinion that a further issue OF
bonds by the municipality is perfectly
proper, and that any indebtedness
contracted as proposed will be binding
as lien on the city. This, however,
fails to draw out bidders willing to
take these promises to pay. Should
the matter be taken into the
higher courts, and should all its legal
aspects be thoroughly discussed by
competent counsel, and thereupon
should the courts judge that the
proposition was entirely within the
statutes thereunto made and provided,
it would settle all reasonable doubt
and certainly bring forward capitalists
who would then be willing to take
these bonds. The mode of procedure
would be thing for the lawyers to
decide. This affair is getting more
grave in its bearings every day.
Last September, when the schools
opened, there was not sufficient room
to accommodate the children. This
inadequacy is growing greater daily
with the rapid increase of our popula-
ton. Something must be done. Then
there is the sewering of the city to be
attended to. Many sections of the
pueblo are becoming densely inhab-
tied where there is no provision made
to carry off refuse from the houses OF
the people. 1t is by no means safe to
let matters thus slide along. The
cholera is in the East. Next summer
may see it sweep the country as a
scourge. We have a fine climate,
and everything is in our favor except
ing our own lack of enterprise and
carelessness of the common sanitary
requirements of a large city. We
should not thus sit idle, but every
effort should be exhausted to get
these things properly put in shape.
